Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3954: Made Public

The Immortal Exalts who had just exited the Skyscraping World felt a collective shiver run down their spines. The strike unleashed by the Scholar Capital Master carried a lethal intent that made them all sense the looming aura of death.

However, despite the terrifying power behind the Scholar Capital Master’s move, not a single one of the Immortal Exalts from the Skyscraping World showed any concern for Jian Chen’s safety.

Just as the tumultuous energy from the Scholar Capital Master’s palm was about to collide with Jian Chen, the sharp, resonant hum of a blade suddenly pierced the air. A brilliant beam of sword Qi erupted from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star cradled in Xing Caijian’s arms. It sliced through the dimensions in an instant, flashing past the Scholar Capital Master’s hand.

As that sword Qi manifested, a crushing, horrific pressure saturated the area, instantly striking fear into the hearts of the medicinal garden owners.

“T-this aura… It is the presence of a sovereign god artifact…”

“A sovereign god artifact has actually appeared here…”

……

…

Exclamations broke out among the masters of the medicinal gardens. Their expressions shifted dramatically as every gaze locked onto Xing Caijian.

When the sword Qi from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star streaked past the Scholar Capital Master’s hand, his gathering energy immediately dissolved. Simultaneously, a sharp, piercing pain shot through him.

He instinctively looked down at his hand, finding nothing but a bloody laceration. Though the wound was shallow, it resisted all attempts to heal.

The Scholar Capital Master’s rage instantly cooled. He retreated out of pure reflex, his gaze fixing upon the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star in Xing Caijian’s arms with unprecedented gravity.

As a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he recognized that aura immediately—it belonged to a sovereign god artifact. He also realized that the sword Qi had no true intent to kill him. Had the weapon exerted its full power, his injury would have been far more severe than a simple cut on the hand.

“Who are you?” Having retreated to a safe distance, the Scholar Capital Master questioned her while staring intensely at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star. Deep within his eyes, a flicker of burning greed flashed, though he fought to suppress it.

A sovereign god artifact of such immense power was vastly superior to the Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul he currently held.

In fact, "superior" was an understatement. They were entirely incomparable, existing on completely different planes of power.

Despite his intense longing, the Scholar Capital Master lacked the bravery to attempt a seizure. The chilling display of power from the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had already left him shaken.

In that moment, Xing Caijian became the focal point of the entire region. Every cultivator present, regardless of their cultivation level, turned their attention toward her.

“Scholar Capital Master, this is Princess Caijian of the Heavenly Star Palace!” An Immortal Exalt from the Skyscraping World took the initiative to introduce her.

“Princess?” Doubt flickered in the Scholar Capital Master’s eyes. The Heavenly Star Palace was one of the twelve courts of heaven; the title of "Princess" was not a designation given to just any member of such an organization.

But a moment later, a realization struck him, causing his heart to thud in shock. The way he looked at her changed instantly. “You are the daughter of the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor and Venerable Caijian—Xing Caijian?”

The owners of the medicinal gardens were stunned as they finally learned of Xing Caijian’s true background.

The daughter of a Heavenly Emperor was an identity of immense weight.

“Yang Yutian is a guest of our Heavenly Star Palace. If anyone intends to move against him, you will have to go through me first,” Xing Caijian declared. Her tone was calm, yet it carried an absolute, unwavering resolve.

It was almost surreal to see a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor speak with such authority to a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like the Scholar Capital Master.

At his level of cultivation, the Scholar Capital Master would be a lofty figure even within a court of heaven, holding a position of great prestige. Unless there was a blood feud that could never be settled, even the courts of heaven were hesitant to antagonize such powerful experts.

The Scholar Capital Master overlooked Xing Caijian’s bluntness, his focus remaining on the ancient weapon she held.

Xing Caijian slowly unwound the rough fabric covering the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful sheath. It was a shimmering silver-white, adorned with countless points of light that sparkled like a vast, magnificent galaxy of stars.

This was the first time the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star had been fully revealed during their journey to the Skyscraping World.

However, only the hilt and sheath were visible, and the overwhelming pressure of a sovereign god artifact was now expertly concealed.

The Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star was intentionally suppressing its aura, refusing to show its true edge until the moment of battle.

The Scholar Capital Master took a sharp breath. While the power of the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star made his heart race with desire, he did not dare target it. He could only turn his thoughts back to his own Divine Sword of the Immortal Soul.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was my life’s work, yet this individual destroyed it. He must give me an explanation,” the Scholar Capital Master stated coldly.

“The Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was planted by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable and grew by absorbing the spiritual Qi of the Skyscraping World. Since when did it belong to you?” Xing Caijian countered.

“Xing Caijian, I will not argue with you out of respect for the Heavenly Emperor. However, if I do not receive satisfaction for the loss of the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, I will not let this go. Surely your Heavenly Star Palace does not wish to provoke a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt over a single fruit?”

“Your Heavenly Star Palace may be one of the twelve courts of heaven, and the Chaotic Star Heavenly Emperor is indeed a revered figure among the powers of the Immortals’ World, but let me speak plainly. Within your palace, there are only two or three experts who actually pose a threat to me.” The Scholar Capital Master was pushing his luck; the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing was simply too vital to his future.

Xing Caijian’s brow furrowed. She knew he wasn't exaggerating. There were very few Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts in the entire Immortals’ World. Some of the lesser heavens lacked such experts entirely. Even among the twelve courts of heaven, only a small number of elites could truly handle someone of the Scholar Capital Master’s caliber.

Nevertheless, Xing Caijian remained undaunted. “It seems the Scholar Capital Master is willing to become an enemy of the Heavenly Star Palace for a Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing that was never his.” She looked down at the Divine Sword of the Heavenly Star and said in a frigid tone, “Senior Heavenly Star…”

The moment he heard her call upon the sword, the Scholar Capital Master’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly shouted, “It would be simple for the Heavenly Star Palace to resolve my grievance with this boy. You only need to intervene and trade for a Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing of equal quality from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords. If you agree to this, I shall depart at once.”

“The Scholar Capital Master is right. This Yang Yutian has committed a grave offense. Not only did he steal the fruit, but he also slaughtered many of our fellow cultivators within the Skyscraping World!”

Suddenly, a mysterious voice echoed through the air. It was a secret transmission technique so advanced that even mid-level Immortal Exalts could not pinpoint the speaker.

While the experts who had been inside the Skyscraping World knew of the sovereign god artifact, the garden owners waiting outside did not. When this voice reached them, they all trembled.

“He possesses a treasure of the wood attribute that allowed him to harvest all the high-grade immortal plants. He even used the power of the Skyscraping World to suppress everyone!” The voice rang out again, vibrating through the air as if stirring up trouble, exposing every detail of Jian Chen’s actions within the Skyscraping World.
